The Hunter's Haunch: What You Don?t Know About Deer and Venison That Will Change the Way You Cook

Description

A new way to look at deer meat that anyone who owns a venison cookbook must read! There is a plethora of venison cookbooks offering recipes for chili, burgers, stuffed mushrooms, sausage, and much more. But venison is a notoriously tricky game meat, and if you don't understand the fundamentals of this meat, it doesn't matter how extravagantly you dress it up.

Paula Young Lee is a former vegetarian who writes frequently on topics related to meat, animals, and hunting for food. She is the author of five books, including Meat, Modernity, and the Rise of the Slaughterhouse (editor); Game: A Global History; and the memoir Deer Hunting in Paris: a Memoir of God, Guns, and Game Meat, which describes her adventures learning to hunt, butcher, and cook wild game. She now hunts, forages, or raises most of her food, and splits her time between Maine and Massachusetts.
